The next update is not far away, so I thought I could share a summary of what will be added. Here is a run-down of the most important additions:
-New outdoor area and dungeons, including a large city.
-Over a dozen new quests, including the conclusion of 'The Laughing Blades', part three of the main quest.
-Level cap raised to 7
-Around 14 new advanced careers (some may be held for another release, still being evaluated)
-36 new talents, including 15 Open Talents.
-New Rank III spells added.
Once this update is released, most of the game core mechanics will be in place, and the "first half" of the game content will be out. I use the quotes because this is an open game in which you can of couse go back and forth, so old areas might always be revisited.
I can't provide an exact release date, but most of the above is already done and playable; still there's work ahead of me for weeks, in completing some of the quests and working on endless details, plus doing the internal testing and asjustments.
I've been asked very frequently about localization. It is going to be added, absolutely. I haven't added localization yet because the early areas will get a big revision on the update after this one, quests and dialogues may be changed or added, so it didn't make sense to go through a translation before that. But in this year we'll do it. The code and UI was designed for multi-language text from the beginning, and all text is in separate files, so it won't be a problem.
